Transformers at 35: Transformers: Fall of Cybertron (2012)
Though I’m not a fan of Gears of War, I do acknowledge the positive impact it had on gaming, with third person shooters becoming far more prevalent in number as […]
Preview: Between Realms
Developed by: Ovva Games I’m forever impressed by the talent, passion and dedication of indie studios; despite the fact that games are more immediately and widely accessible than ever, it’s […]
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition
I finished Gears of War again at the weekend (yep, Game Pass strikes again!). I hadn’t played it since the original release and, this time, I’d played the Ultimate Edition which adds in further stages, which previously only appeared in the PC version of the game. Not only that, but the whole game has been given a lick of paint […]

Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed – Wii
I’m a massive fan of classic 1950s monster and sci-fi movies. Paranoia abounded in the American B-movie cinema of the 50s – reflecting the post-war, Communism-obsessed times. In the midst […]
Liquid Space – Chapter 1

Her helmet, a bubble of opaque black from the exterior – was already making her perspire, causing condensation to fog up the glowing HUD inside. Her operator, Dex, was creating the […]
Happy Star Wars Day!
Star Wars is one of those pop culture franchises that, for me, has always been around. My birth was perfectly timed for this; I arrived in the world just a few weeks after Star Wars did – though it didn’t arrive in the UK until I was a little over six months old.
